Withdrawn Rulemakings

Sometimes, EPA will choose to terminate a rulemaking. The Withdrawn page lists those rulemakings that have bee withdrawn in the past year.

See Rulemakings Open for Comment

Rulemakings remain in the Proposal Phase from the time the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is published in the Federal Register until the Final Rule is published. During a discreet portion of this time, a rule is usually open for comment. See a list of those rules currently open for comment. From there, you can reach Regulations.gov, where you can comment electronically on the rule.
